Top The GoDown Arts Centre Hotel Reviews

JW Marriott Hotel Nairobi

10/10 Excellent

"An excellent 5-star experience! The hotel is beautiful, modern, and well maintained, with very friendly and welcoming staff. The location is fantastic, making it an excellent choice for anyone visiting Nairobi. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling to Nairobi and would happily stay here again."

Best Western Plus Meridian Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good location … easy walk into city center At first it Looks not safe… but it’s ok .. we tried to get back to the hotel area before sunset"

Radisson Blu Hotel Nairobi Upper Hill

10/10 Excellent

"I'll definitely go back"

Fairview Hotel Nairobi, Vignette Collection by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff is very warm, kind and helpful, The food is very good and the service is exceptional. Installations are cleaned and well maintained. The only thing is the quality of the coffee, which needs to be improved to match the high level of other beverage and food items."

New Urbane Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I really like this stay there was definitely A1, I do wish they had other provisions and I would have stayed such as a microwave oven a mini refrigerator. A very good hotel I really did like it. However sleeping was difficult at night because of outside noise."

Maasai Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our 5 day stay here. Our “lodge” overlooked the river gorge with the lovely sound of the river and views of the National Park. The gardens are stunning, like being in Kew Gardens. Staff were attentive. The food in the dining room was elaborate and flavourful - with lots of choice at the buffet. We would not hesitate to recommend nor return for another visit."

SNL Hotel & Gardens

8/10 Good

"My arrival got off to a complicated start, at reception my reservation and room weren't checked and I was given the key to a budget room, I declined that and was shown another room which was budget with a TV, which I said this isn't the room I've prepaid for, the hotel staff didn't seem to believe I'd booked a executive pool view room until I showed them my booking and receipt that I'd prepaid, I was eventually given the right room with the intervention of a staff member Joyce because I told her I was going to find another hotel and leave she asked if she could sort this out for me and not to leave I agreed and from that was given a great room and with good internet access and an amazing comfortable bed the day after my arrival from then there were no further issues. This hotel has the most amazing staff, friendly, welcoming and efficient and made my stay a pleasure,good facilities and great food and good pool. Downside is there's no kettle in the rooms, I asked but none available which is rare today in most hotels, they will bring you a flask of hot water for a fee but you feel a nuisance always asking for one,so maybe that needs looking at . Anyway a good stay at SNL but I have to thank the staff personally who made it so, Joyce, Kate,Katherine, Regina and Maggie on security you are all in my opinion a credit to this establishment and because of all of you yes I would stay here again, thank you...."
